Introduction: Hurler Syndrome (MPS-I)‚ otherwise classified as Mucopolysaccharidosis‚ is the most severe form of this disease and is caused by cells being unable to break down dermatan sulfate and heparan sulfate during regular metabolism(Laberge‚ 2010). The build up of these two by-products disturbs regular cell functionality and this may cause damage within the tissues of organs (Laberge‚ 2010). Two major symptoms found within an individual with Hurler Syndrome are skeletal deformities and

parameters on enzyme‚ production is the main aim of this study. Enzymes are protein catalysts synthesized by living systems and are important in synthetic as well as degradative process. Amylases are starch degradative enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of internal a-1‚ 4-0-glycosidic bonds in polysaccharides such as starch in to simple sugar (glucose and maltose). It is produced by a variety of living organisms ranging from bacteria‚ fungi to plants and humans. Enzymes are catalysts of biological

breaks down the lipids and proteins in the phospholipid bilayer. Much like dish detergent does to greasy dishes. Lipids are insoluble in water‚ the detergent reacts with the cell and causes the molecular contents to fall out much like hydrolysis. Without this you could never complete the extraction. Then you add the baking soda (buffer) to the test tube. Buffer is defined as a substance that tends to resist pH changes of a solution‚ thus stabilizing its relative acidity and

Lipid Digestion The process of mastication is our only conscious act in the digestion of the foods we consume. After that‚ it’s out of sight‚ out of mind; but should it be? What does it take to transform that last swallow into the energy our body needs to sustain itself? In the case of lipid digestion‚ the real magic occurs throughout the gastrointestinal tract with a synergistic collaboration from the accessory organs: the liver‚ gallbladder and pancreas. Understanding the whole process of digestion

Date: Wednesday‚ November 16‚ 2011 Holly Lawson - white Title: API 20E Introduction: The general principle of the experiment is to use a battery of biochemical tests for identification of enteric bacteria. This testing system consists of a strip containing 20 chambers‚ each consisting of a microtube and a cupule to allow testing of 20 different tests nearly simultaneously. Materials: inoculating loop‚ test tube containing 5 ml of sterile saline‚ wash bottle of water‚ plastic API

several repeated small units called monomers. How the polymers are formed is a method called dehydration synthesis in which the water molecule is removed and two monomers are joined together. When the polymers are breaking down it is process called hydrolysis in when the polymer is mixed with a water molecule and disrupts the bonds between the two monomers. The carbohydrates are the sugar and starches and provide the function of energy to the body of humans. This carbohydrates can come in different sizes
